A Gift to Ryde Marina Bowls Club from the family of Ron Franklin, deceased, ‘Who loved the Isle of Wight’.

The family of the late Ron Franklin travelled from Leamington Spa to present a seat in memory of Ron. During the family’s numerous holidays on the Island, Ron spent many relaxing hours at RMBC, both bowling and watching the games.

The plaque supplied by the family says ‘In Loving Memory of Ron Franklin who loved the Isle of Wight. Please take a seat and enjoy’.

Members of Ryde Marina Bowls Club know that many, like Ron in the past, will continue to enjoy a warm welcome at the club.

For Members information, Bowls Isle of Wight run a Benevolent Fund the object of which is to aid bowlers in times of distress that are or have been members of Clubs affiliated to Bowls Isle of Wight and to help necessitous widows, widowers and bowlers.A very big welcome to Liz Allen, who has agreed to take on the role of Welfare Officer.

So if you know of anyone in the Club that would benefit from a call, a card or a visit from Liz, then please give her a buzz.
